I try to run an ebook viewer, which requires IE

Charybdis · Post by **Charybdis** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 2:48 pm

Hello!

I would like to launch this EXE file.

This is an ebook viewer application, it does not require install, but it requires Internet Explorer 4 or higher. I don't know, should I install Internet Explorer first, or does Wine contants the requires libraries? Does it make any difference if I would install Internet explorer?

Here are the errors I got (I did not install IE before I tried to run the provided EXE file):

Is it any way to launch this program? It requires internet connection BTW.

OS: Ubuntu 7.04
Wine: 0.9.57

Thanks in advance very much!

Hello!

I would like to launch this EXE file
(http://downloads.marketingtips.com/lead ... Strategies.
exe).

A file named "FoolProofSucessStrategies.exe"? And requires internet
connection? I don't know the program, but sounds like a virus to me...

I scanned it, at least my clamav thinks it's ok. But it's marketing
material for a spam-sending system. Sorry, not going to support that.

No virus, no spyware, no rootkit.
Tested with CounterSpy and Nod32, even with ZoneAlarm antivirus.
Even installed on my XP system, and I'm still alive (also my system). Also installed on Ubuntu with Wine, no problem.

But check the main domain (marketingtips.com), it is hacker safe:
https://www.scanalert.com/RatingVerify? ... ngtips.com

It has Alexa rank 9200, it is a very established and old site.

Do you need more proof?

Please help, any chance to make this program work?

No... it's the content I object to.

Just use the pdf at the site, no need for the ebook.

This is just a sample ebook.

The problem is, I use this ebook creator, but I would like to make sure that my compiled ebooks will run on Linux.

So I don't want to run this specific ebook, but all the ebooks created with this software.

BTW the main domain was registered in 1996 (more than 10 years ago) and it has page rank 5, I don't know what's your problem. Do you think that they have been spamming people since 1996?

Should I show another ebook?

You're doing this to sell ebooks, right?
Via mass email blasts, right?

If so, that's spam, and I won't be a party to it.

"Via mass email blasts, right?"

I don't know why do you think that. Why would I send spam?

I have a technical issue here and you start complaining about random things like file name, content, spam emails. How does it relate to my problem?

The linked site is not mine.

I ask here a technical question and you call me a spammer, that's ridiculous.

Charybdis · Post by **Charybdis** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 2:58 am

I just want to use a program, which can produce ebooks with any content.

And I linked a sample ebook created with this program, I don't know whats the problem. This ebook is not mine, and you dont have to look at it's content.

I could link an another ebook, with completley different content, but I really dont know why does it matters. By the way, did you read the linked ebook, or you just dont like the file name? Strange. You complain about something you don't even know.

Nor dont know why do you think that I am doing here something bad. I just want to run a program.

Other forum members confirmed that the file is virus free.

It's a matter of taste. If it really was a random choice, it was a
pretty unfortunate one.

The problem with your "ebook" program is that it tries to go online. Why?

Charybdis · Post by **Charybdis** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 6:59 pm

Yes it was a random choice.
Yes it requires internet connection to activate the ebook with the specified username/password.

Note that you resolved an exact same issue recently:
http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=123

If you resolved an exact same issue before, why treat this issue differently? Read the quoted thread: the topic author wanted to run an ebook viewer, which required internet connection.

You resolved his issue quickly, you even created a bug report.

And what happens now? I use a same program from a different publisher, and you think that it is spyware. The only difference is that the domain name associated with my issue is 12 years old (registered in 1996). The ebook viewer wants to establish a connection to this old domain name.

Can you show me a spyware program which is associated with a 12-years-old domain name??? They collect personal data with this ebook viewer, and no one reported it in the last 12 years, LOL (since the domain name's blacklist status is clear).

So could you tell me what is the difference between my issue and this thread: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=123 ?

Since there is a bug which is not resolved - that means your program does not work. Need anything more to know? Doesn't work means doesn't work.

Which bug?

This program requires Internet Explorer. should I install IE first? Or does Wine containt the required libraries already?
